Mariska Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield are daughter and mother. We all know that Josh Ritter is the son of John Ritter, but few people know that John is the son of Western singing star Tex Ritter. Tex sang the title song for the movie High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling).
@@iamalive.1255 Jason is also in the opening credits of Three's Company. He's the blonde haired little boy who walks up to one of the girls. I can't remember if it was Janet or Terry that he walks up to.
Ritters are Hollywood blue bloods. Actors married directors. Their generations are all in the same business. Drew Barrymore, Candice Bergen, Jane Fonda, just to name a few.
I remember hearing that Jenny McCarthy was not so nice to her cousin when Melissa was trying to get her start in Hollywood. Not sure if it's true, but tbh, I could totally see it.
Then again, Jenny decided to be nice on a different occasion when a magazine posted a derogatory article about Melissa. She wrote a letter to that magazine in critique of said article.
I found out a few years ago that I’m distantly related to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. It made me super excited because Princess Leia has been my hero since I was a little girl
Introducing Stanley Tucci to her sister Felicity is one of the best things Emily Blunt could have done. I wasn't really aware that Stanley had been treated for Cancer but he really feels like he's got a second chance at life and is a very keen cook, particularly Italian food. He's moved across to the UK and has won over a whole new load of fans.
Marisa Tomei and Julianne Moore were also both on the soap opera, As The World Turns. I didn't know they both attended Boston University as well! That university has an incredible acting program!
Once you brought up Lenny Kravitz, I thought you were going to bring up his daughter ex wife and her current husband, who are Zoe Kravitz, Lisa Bonet, and Jason Mamoa respectively.
Can just see Al Roker singing Lenny’s song that played replacing “ I want to get away” with “ Let’s see what’s happeningggggg …. In Your neck of the woods!! Maybe he already has ?
Eartha Kitt is my 3rd or 4th cousin! She’s my grandfather cousin. Same plantation and everything in SC. I know a lot about her from my grandfather stories some good and some heartbreaking
My uncle was in the service during the Korean War with Willie Mays... they stayed in touch for a little while after, and he signed my uncle's baseball cards. Unfortunately he lost the cards in a house fire, but he never forgot their friendship in the service. That was worth more to him during that scary time! My uncle has been gone since 2009. Maybe he and Willie are swapping war stories in the great hereafter... cheers!
I don't think inlaws and marriages should really be apart of this video. Marriage could be a video for itself but inlaws is sorta irrelevant especially if it they had something to do with the connection
I have heard most of these before. I am a huge fan of Finding Your Roots and have developed the habit of going to the end of each new episode first to see if any of that week's guests have a DNA match. The most recent episode, Roy Wood, Jr. was almost brought to tears when he discovered that he is a cousin to John Lewis.
This must be old, since it only mentions that Melissa McCarthy was nominated for an Oscar for Bridesmaids, but not her Best Actress Oscar nom for Can You Ever Forgive Me?
I would add Sean Astin (LOTR, The Goonies, Stranger Things, etc) being the son of Patty Duke and THE OG Gomez Addams, John Astin. I remember seeing Sean's brother, Mackenzie, in later episodes of The Facts of Life (when Cloris Leachman took over for Charlotte Rae,) but then fell out of the spotlight.
@@tanyanewman55 Cool! Thanks for the info! It seems like John and Patty were together since the beginning of time, so it would make sense for Sean to be his son, but hey, life happens, and it doesn't matter if he's biological or not, as long as he was a loving father to those children. My own parents split up when my mom was 4 months pregnant with me (they were young and it was the 70's,) and she met my stepfather and they started dating during her pregnancy. He has been my other dad my whole life! Side note- my biological father stepped up to support me, so I have a nice relationship with him and always have. Regardless, my stepfather (my Dan,) raised me like I was his own. He took care of all 7 of us kids, even though 5 of us were not his blood. My family is huge and perhaps hard to explain, but I love all of us, and it is my life... been this way for almost 42 years! Lol... Well, again, thank you! I'll have to look up Michael Tell now... 🤔😁
Lily and Alfie Allen also have a famous father - actor Keith Allen, who also had his own music project called "Fat Les", which also included comedy actors Rowland Rivron and Paul Kaye. Fat Les recorded songs that were full of British humour such as "Vindaloo" (which is also a favourite of English football fans) and "Naughty Christmas".
Keith has the BEST speaking voice - and has been great in both comedy and dramatic roles. He's also a great comic writer - I always loved the spoof of The Professionals he did with Peter Richardson.
They didn’t mention that Gwen Stefani and Madonna are distant cousins. Also, they forgot to mention that Hailie Bieber (neé Baldwin) is the niece of Alec Baldwin. Chris Pine is the son of Robert Pine and Drew Barrymore comes from a family of actors.

I can't believe that you didn't include that singer/actor Olivia Newton-John's grandfather is Max Born, one of the most important physicists of all time (he was awarded the 1954 Nobel in Physics for "fundamental research in quantum mechanics, especially in the statistical interpretation of the wave function.")
"Celebrities"....not musicians related to physicists. Although, I respect the work and progression and would be more interested in a list of that nature.
Unclear why you bring up Jessica Leigh is Jamie Lee Curtis' mother and don't mention Tony Curtis is her father, even if you already think we know that.
I knew that the first time I saw Jesse Eisenberg. They look similar. And that was before I knew his last name. I used to watching Hallie Kate in movies. She is the same age as me. Although I am a couple months older than her.
They didn’t mention their older sister Kerry Vera Lea who is the most talented of the three. She did a lot of voice work in the late 90’s & early 00’s. Plus ran an acting school for children when she was only 19. Now she mostly does work as an extra on a myriad of TV shows. But Hallie & Jesse both owe their careers to her.
I am distantly related to Elizabeth Taylor and John Wayne on my father's mother's side of the family. Liz Taylor is one of the inspirations behind my author alias, Katrina Taylor.
That’s cool lol, the closest I could get was my grandma and late grandpa hanging out with some singing groups (The dramatics and I can’t remember the name of the other one)
Snoop is also related to one of the most famous female wrestlers Sasha Banks ... it’s actually a decent story how he took her to one of the biggest shows ever when she was a teen, helping fuel her dreams

One id add is Trainspotting actor Jonny Lee Miller who was married to Angelina Jolie, being the grandson of actor Bernard Lee who played M in the older James Bond movies.
You forgot: George Clooney & Miguel Ferrer (cousins) Jason Patric & Jackie Gleason (grandson & grandfather) David Rievers & Corbin Bleu (father & son) Sissy Spacek & Rip Torn (cousins) Rob Schneider & Elle King (father & daughter)
My good friend Michele, her Dad was Uncle Leo on Seinfeld. Pretty cool. She grew up in a different era and her Dad ensured the kids were down to Earth. Her babysitter was Ron Howard's wife 😂

Zoey Perry and Laurie Metcalf both play the role of Mary Cooper on Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory respectively. Laurie Metcalf is Zoey Perry's mother.

Jim Nabors was unfortunately related to me. I reached out to him in Hawaii multiple times. Not because I wanted anything. But because I wanted to know the story of a mutual relationship named Bittle. Completely ignored me I expected this much but it still hurt! All I wanted was a family history. Cora (Bittle) Casey, my great grandmother ran away from home because of a situation with her father so we never talked about that side of the family. Always wanted to know about them.
Gloria Steinem is Christian Bale's step-mother. David Tennant married the daughter of Peter Davidson. So Doctor Who is essentially his own son-in-law. Sean Pertwee is the son of the Third Doctor. The Gummer Sisters - Mamie and Grace - look like Meryl Streep because they both are half-Meryl Streep, genetically. Dakota Johnson is the children of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and the grandchild of Griffith's mother Tippi Hedren.
Peter DAVISON. Not “Davidson”. Peter Davison’s birth name is Peter MOFFAT. He chose “Davison” as his stage name. That’s why his daughter is Georgia MOFFAT.
Other unmentioned relations: Mark Harmon is the uncle of Matt and Gunnar Nelson (of the 90s band Nelson), who in turn are the sons of Ricky Nelson and the grandsons of Ozzie & Harriet. Jordana and Paget Brewster are distant cousins, both direct male-line descendants of William Brewster, the leader of the community of passengers on the Mayflower. Ashley Judd is also a descendant of Brewster through her father. Denise Crosby is Bing Crosby's granddaughter.
The funny thing is Zoey Deutch wouldnt exist without the turkey Howard The Duck….her parents met making Some Kind Of Wonderful, which initially Lea passed on until HTD tanked so hard.
A statement to the power of nepotism. For some of them, their great effort to deny (especially to themselves) or obscure (like by changing their names) that nepotism is really how they got their break and has been the actual engine that's driven them to celebrity is exactly why we didn't know.
Absolutely mind-blowing to discover these unexpected family connections among celebrities! The fact that Jonah Hill and Beanie Feldstein are siblings was a fun surprise. It's fascinating to see the diversity of talent within a single family, like in the case of Lenny Kravitz and Al Roker. This video really shows how small the entertainment world can be!
I was doing some research into my genealogy and found a couple of famous names, but I haven't been able to back track any to definitely confirm family ties. The one of note that I found was Winston Churchill. I hope I can find out for sure one day.

That is Elisabeth Shue, NOT Lea Thompson in the scene "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need.....roads" 6:29
Gloria Steinem is Christian Bale's step-mother.
David Tennant married the daughter of Peter Davidson. So Doctor Who is essentially his own son-in-law.
Sean Pertwee is the son of the Third Doctor.
The Gummer Sisters - Mamie and Grace - look like Meryl Streep because they both are half-Meryl Streep, genetically.
Dakota Johnson is the children of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and the grandchild of Griffith's mother Tippi Hedren.
Peter DAVISON.
Not “Davidson”.
Peter Davison’s birth name is Peter MOFFAT.
He chose “Davison” as his stage name.
That’s why his daughter is Georgia MOFFAT.
Great list! I’ve always wondered how many out there are related in some way, looks, background, etc., you should do more of these! 👍😊
Other unmentioned relations: Mark Harmon is the uncle of Matt and Gunnar Nelson (of the 90s band Nelson), who in turn are the sons of Ricky Nelson and the grandsons of Ozzie & Harriet.
Jordana and Paget Brewster are distant cousins, both direct male-line descendants of William Brewster, the leader of the community of passengers on the Mayflower. Ashley Judd is also a descendant of Brewster through her father.
Denise Crosby is Bing Crosby's granddaughter.
To be fair, William Brewster's famous descendants number in the scores.
never been so psyched for a youtube video
Lily has been called hot. No one ever calls Alfie hot.
Shocked Lily Collins isn't on here between her dad being Phil Collins, her FIL being Malcolm McDowell, and her step FIL being Ted Dansen.
I would love to see Warren and Shirley on stage together, even if just to present an award to someone else.
Same
The funny thing is Zoey Deutch wouldnt exist without the turkey Howard The Duck….her parents met making Some Kind Of Wonderful, which initially Lea passed on until HTD tanked so hard.
I’m a great great (a lot of greats) grand daughter (mother’s side) of the chaplin who crossed the Delaware river with George Washington in 1776.
I would add Jennifer Aniston and her Father. He has starred on Days of Our Lives for over 30 years as Victor
You guys forgot to mention Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen
A statement to the power of nepotism. For some of them, their great effort to deny (especially to themselves) or obscure (like by changing their names) that nepotism is really how they got their break and has been the actual engine that's driven them to celebrity is exactly why we didn't know.
I've heard of about half a dozen of these people. Guess I'll go read a book.
I'm related to Brittany Howard from Alabama Shakes, by marriage we're 3rd cousins.
Brittany is great.
Everyone is related somehow.
Absolutely mind-blowing to discover these unexpected family connections among celebrities! The fact that Jonah Hill and Beanie Feldstein are siblings was a fun surprise. It's fascinating to see the diversity of talent within a single family, like in the case of Lenny Kravitz and Al Roker. This video really shows how small the entertainment world can be!
Remember... Brandy has a famous brother..named Ray J!
Anderson Cooper and Timothy Olyphant are cousins. They are both in the Vanderbilt lineage.
I just recently found out Olyphant is a Vanderbilt.
I was doing some research into my genealogy and found a couple of famous names, but I haven't been able to back track any to definitely confirm family ties. The one of note that I found was Winston Churchill. I hope I can find out for sure one day.
My grandma tracked our lineage back as well and found Winston Churchill. We just might be related.
My husbands cousin is Ronny Cox from Robocop and Murder at 1600. They’ve never met unfortunately
I am related to my parents
Simon Bamford is my real uncle mostly known for his performance in the Hellraiser franchise🥰.
So does that mean Brandy is also related to Snoop's other cousin, WWE star Sasha Banks?
And no mention of Ray Jay?
Yup they're related
